fore ordering material or executing any part of the

ings and Specifications obtained by a Contractor 
or his agent from any employe of the Department 
of Architecture, which does not conform to the Draw- 
ings and Specifications, shall not be considered in 
the final settlement of the contract.

Agent, that any material called for, or a method of 
construction shown on the Plans or mentioned in 
the Specifications, is faulty, impractical or insuff- 
cient to such an extent that, in his opinion, if carried 
out, would result in unsafe construction, or damage

HEATING AND VENTILATING 
(Read General Conditions) 
DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM 

Heating will be accomplished by means of steam 
circulated at about atmospheric pressure. There 
will be tempering heaters placed as closely as 
possible to the cold air intake, and there will be 
reheaters placed at the bases of the various flues 
which lead to the rooms, the whole arrangement 
being such that when the fans are stopped, the whole 
building will still be warmed to some extent by 
gravity. Direct radiators will be placed in offices, 
toilets, corridors and similar rooms, 

The machinery, except the Auditorium supply 
fan and exhaust fans, will be steam operated, so 
that the building may be independent of electric 
supply for heating, while the exhaust fans will 
be electrically operated so as to give ventilation 
when the heating plant is not needed. The work- 
ing pressure on the boilers will be not to exceed 
35 pounds. 

GENERAL CONDITIONS 

The general conditions of the architect’s specifi- 
cations, giving instructions and information relating 
to requirements, time of completion, alterations, per- 
mits, contract and bond, payments, drawings, etc., 
are hereby made a part of this specification, and 
contractors are required to acquaint themselves with 
‘these general conditions, which will be made a part 
of the contract. 

Where no special quality of material or labor is 
mentioned, it 1s understood that the quality of 
materials and labor shall correspond with that called 

131

TEMPORARY CONNECTIONS 

The contractor shall set all direct radiators tem- 
porarily one time as a part of the contract, without 
extra compensation, when so ordered by the architect. 
Temporary valves shall be furnished for such tem- 
porary connections, these valves to remain the 
property of the Contractor, as the diaphragm 
valves for permanent use may not be used for 
temporary setting. 

TEMPORARY HEATING 

If the plant shall be used for temporary heating, 
it will be operated by the contractor, who will be 
responsible for it during such use. The contractor 
shall include in his bid the cost of operating the plant 
for not less than thirty 24-hour days, at the con- 
tractor’s risk, including all necessary supplies except 
electricity and fuel. The thirty days’ operation by 
the contractor will be for temporary heating or for 
adjusting and running in the machinery, as the 
owner may dictate. The thirty days need not neces- 
sarily be consecutive, but may begin as soon as 
temporary heat is needed and may terminate not 
later than thirty days after the completion of the 
building. 

The contractor shall be responsible for securing a 
certificate from the heating inspector, in writing, at 
the beginning and ending of each period of operation, 
in case, for instance ,the operating period should be 
interrupted by a break-down or by warm weather. 
If the owner requires operation by the contractor 
for a period longer than the thirty days above pro- 
vided, the contractor shall furnish such operation, 
still at his own risk, at an agreed price per day. 

134 


For Harvard School Building 


SUBSTITUTIONS 

Certain definite makes of apparatus are specified 
as a minimum standard. The contractor shall bid 
on the basis of furnishing the makes specified with- 
out substitutions. He is invited to bid on any other 
makes of apparatus of equal or better quality, it be- 
ing clearly understood, however, that the names of 
the same must be stated in the bid, together with 
the difference in price, if any. If it is decided by 
the owner to accept such substitution, the change 
shall be made a matter of record in the written 
contract. Where several makes of apparatus 
are mentioned and the Contractor fails to 
say in his bid that he prefers any particular ap- 
paratus, the owner shall have the right to choose 
any of the makes mentioned without change in price. 
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND 
ADJUSTMENTS 

The contractor shall instruct the operating engineer 
in the care and operation of the apparatus. He shall 
adjust the speed of all machinery and shall regulate 
the air velocities and deliveries by anemometer test 
to the architect’s approval. After all air deliveries 
and speeds have been adjusted, he shall place a 
conspicuous metal sign upon each fan, showing 
its proper speed for each general service for which 
it is intended. See schedule of air deliveries, di- 
rect radiation, etc., at the end of the specifications. 
EXCAVATING AND FOUNDATIONS 

The contractor shall do all excavating required for 
the installation of the material included in the con- 
tract, for all foundations, ete., furnished by him, and 
shall remove the dirt from the premises, 

135

He shall furnish proper foundations for all ap- 
paratus, of masonry, corresponding with the ma- 
terials and workmanship required for similar con- 
ditions in the architect’s specifications and of size 
not less than that called for by the drawings or 
the requirements of the various manufacturers. 
He shall furnish all necessary foundation bolts, 
with proper plates and thimbles, for all apparatus 
which requires foundations. 

The supply fan housing rests on the duct walls 
furnished by others, but the foundations for bear- 
ings must be furnished by the contractor. 
CUTTING AND PATCHING 

The contractor shall do all cutting and patching 
of other contractors’ work cut or injured in the in- 
stallation of this work, to the approval of the archi- 
tect. 

CLEANING 

At the time of completion of the work, the con- 
tractor shall clean thoroughly all of the apparatus 
and equipment furnished by him. He shall remove 
all oil and foreign matter from the boilers and piping, 
blowing the boilers out at the surface of the water 
through temporary connections, as well as the rear. 
At the completion of the work, the Contractor 
shall clean all vacuum traps. He shall keep the 
blast and direct radiation covered during the 
prosecution of adjacent construction work, and 
will be held responsible for the final removal from

figuring are an outline to show where certain pipes 
must go in order properly to avoid and to harmonize 
with the pipes and ducts of other contractors. The 
contractor shall check over these drawings carefully 
and may submit a suggested layout of any portion 
of the work that may appear to improve the efficiency 
of the system. If such changes are approved, they 
shall become a part of this contract after their ap- 
proval. Such approval is limited only to approval 
for conformity with the general requirements of the 
drawings and specifications, and does not relieve the 
contractor of responsibility for the proper operation 
of the system. 

Should the contractor, in going over the drawings, 
recognize any points which seem to him to be in- 
sufficiently or improperly cared for, to the extent 
of jeopardizing the guarantee which 1s required of 
him, he shall state such a situation along with his 
“proposal, and what addition or deduction, if any, 
would be made in his proposal for the work as regu- 
larly specified, if such defects were remedied by him 
in such manner that he could guarantee the entire 
installation as required.
